Prospective Applicants for IFS Research Grants from Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Kenya, Uganda are hereby invited to submit a Research Note and apply for participation in a Proposal Writing Training Course focusing on Neglected and Underutilized Species of Plants, to be held in Lilongwe, Malawi.

Neglected and Underutilised Species of plants (NUS) include hundreds of locally domesticated and wild species, which are rich in nutrients and adapted to low-input agriculture. NUS and their traditional production systems can play a key role in supporting rural livelihoods. They can be important in strategies to alleviate the effects of biotic and abiotic stresses – particularly those related to climate change.

The objective is to contribute towards poverty reduction and greater food and nutrition security in West Africa, and Eastern and Southern Africa through enhanced conservation and use of neglected and underutilized species (NUS).

Who should apply?
Applicants eligible for this call should:
• Be a citizen of Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Kenya or Uganda
• Be a national scientist attached to a university, research institution or a research oriented and not-for-profit NGO,
• Be under 40 years of age (or up to 45 providing the last higher degree was obtained in the previous 5 years) and at the beginning of their research career
• Have at least a Master's or equivalent degree.
• We particularly welcome applications from female scientists.

Deadline for application is 3rd June 2011. Late applications will not be considered. Only the selected participants will be notified by 1st July 2011. See Downloads below for application Procedures and Application forms.
